What to Do If an Automatic Transmission Doesn't Have a P Gear for Parking?
1 Answers
When parking an automatic transmission car, you can first engage the handbrake or shift to N gear, but there are situations where you should first engage the handbrake. The P gear is essentially a neutral gear with a parking mode. In P gear mode, the car's transmission and engine are completely disconnected, which is similar in principle to engaging the handbrake and shifting to N gear.
